The Great Wild God - Chapter 327

Chapter 327 Nameless Sword Cultivator
From west to east in Yangquan, on an official road leading to the seaside, two carriages slowly approached, rutting down the rubble on the official road.

More than twenty azure-armored warriors were guarding the wings of the two carriages.

The scales and armor worn by these warriors were engraved with mysterious and complicated talismans. The weather was gloomy, and the talismans on the armor revealed a faint light. The long sabers on the waists of these warriors faintly affected the mysterious power between heaven and earth.

A warrior was carrying a battle flag. The green and black battle flag was inscribed with the words “Yangquan White Tiger Camp” and other ancient characters. They were the famous White Tiger Camp soldiers of Yangquan Prefecture.

The leading general was riding an exceptionally handsome azure-scaled horse with a red tassel spear and a dark green bow. He looked like a commandant general from the White Tiger Camp.

Yangquan and the other counties in the Southeast Region were located at the frontier of the sea. Giant monsters had repeatedly barged in from the Fallen Star Sea, and sects and clans were unable to protect them.

The prefectures chose the sons of the Liang Clan of the prefecture to form the White Tiger, Golden Ni, and other guard camps. Normally, they would be stationed at the stronghold and defend the sea. Even an ordinary lieutenant general would not be able to serve as a Reincarnation Realm expert.

At this moment, a commandant from the White Tiger Camp led more than twenty sharp soldiers to escort these two extremely ordinary looking carriages. It could be seen that although the carriages were ordinary, the people sitting in them were not small.

“My lord, there are still more than three hundred miles from Yangquan. It’s getting late. I’m afraid that Madam Du won’t be able to endure the hardships. Shall we find a place to stay and hurry tomorrow?” A thin-faced, yet shrewd-looking azure-armored warrior pulled his horse around and came to the front of the commandant general. His hoarse voice was like a piece of copper as he asked for instructions from the commandant general.

“General Sun, I can still endure this bit of hardship. I hope to be able to return to Yangquan one day earlier.” A pleasant voice came from the carriage, the implication of which was that he hoped to return to Yangquan overnight.

The skinny-faced warrior’s face was filled with worry as he listened to the people in the car speak. He had said tactfully just now that they were only the last leg of their journey from Yangquan. It was fine if they worked hard all night long. Even if no one “missed” them on this trip, they were already very close to the seaside. The sea was not peaceful these days. Sometimes, trolls would take advantage of the night to barge into the land, bringing with them many unnecessary dangers.

It was not up to the skinny-faced warrior to decide whether to continue on through the night or find a place to rest in the town ahead.

“Black Three, bring a few people to explore the road ahead. If anything unusual happens, report back in time. We will continue on our journey. We will arrive at Yang Quan City before dawn.”

“It’s all thanks to General Sun’s care. After arriving at Yangquan City, I will definitely reward everyone heavily.” The woman in the carriage remembered that she would be able to rush back to Yang Quan City before dawn tomorrow. She heaved a sigh of relief and said gratefully.

“Thank you, Madam Du. This is what General Mo should do.” The lieutenant general thanked him indifferently.

Black Three brought the three of them forward, and the general surnamed Sun had even specially deployed a long-range sentry on both sides.

It was getting late, and not a trace of people could be seen on the official road.

After passing through a town, darkness had already descended, and the skinny-faced warrior Hei San who had been exploring the road earlier galloped back.

“What’s wrong with the front?” The general surnamed Sun asked.

“The villages on both sides are closed. There are no passers-by on the official road. There is a young sword cultivator who is separated from the servants. At this moment, he is in the same hurry as us to rush to Yangquan City overnight to meet up with the servants” Hei San reported.

“Sword Cultivator?” Hearing Hei San say that there was a sword cultivator who had also rushed to Yangquan City overnight, the general surnamed Sun immediately became vigilant and asked Hei San with a heavy expression, “Didn’t you ask him exactly where he came from?”

‘”Sword Cultivator. I think he’s just a young master who hasn’t experienced any worldly affairs. He looks like he’s at the middle stage of the True Yang Realm, but his subordinates are very sparse. It’s as if he lost his soul to wander away from his servants.” Black Three said.

Although Black Three only had the eighth level of the True Yang Realm, he looked down on the disciples from aristocratic families.

Not to mention the mid-True Yang Realm cultivation, even if they were disciples of aristocratic families at the peak of the ninth level of the True Yang Realm, the flowers growing in the greenhouse had never experienced any bloodshed. If they really wanted to fight, how could they compare to the elite martial soldiers of the White Tiger Camp?

“Bring that person over to see me.” The general surnamed Sun was not at ease. He instructed the left and right to be vigilant and let Black Three bring the young man over. He could only be at ease after seeing him personally.

The Guihai Pavilion gathered several experts of the Reincarnation Realm in Jin Hai, and they were all unable to leave. They specially requested the White Tiger Camp to send someone to escort Madam Du back to Yangquan for a large sum of money. In fact, the Guihai Pavilion was worried that someone would harm Madam Du along the way.

Who knew if this sword cultivator with a low cultivation base in front of him was disadvantageous to the group of people from the Guihai Pavilion?

After a while, Black Three led the master over.

The youth wore a long black robe and had an ordinary appearance. He weakly pulled a thin horse. The sword xiu disciple of the sect carried an unsheathed iron sword behind him. There was a black cloth wrapped around his waist. There was actually a faint spiritual aura emanating from it.

The young man looked quite old. He was almost thirty years old. He was traveling and had a tired expression on his face. He must have traveled a lot. He was more like a traveling scholar than a sword cultivator.

The young man seemed to have suffered many setbacks along the way and didn’t have any arrogance, so he hurriedly went forward to salute the general surnamed Sun.

“What’s your name? Why did you come to Yangquan? Can you bring Guan Di with you?” The general surnamed Sun waved his hand and looked at the young scholar for a few times, asking him to take out the official ultimatum that had cleared the city for him to examine …

‘”I, Zong Xun, have seen Master Jun. Zong Xun has failed in his cultivation and has failed in his cultivation. Every time his clan falls, he has no choice but to show his face and take care of his livelihood. I heard that Yang Quan is filled with sea guests. Zong Xun wants to go to Yang Quan and find a ship to go out to sea with him to fight for wealth so that he won’t suffer for his livelihood for the rest of his life. He didn’t want to leave with his servants before he entered Yang Quan.” The young man handed over the official ultimatum to the general surnamed Sun to prove his identity in the various prefectures.

The examiner’s ultimatum was correct. The general surnamed Sun pointed at the black cloth wrapped around the youth’s waist and asked, “What is inside?”

The youth revealed an embarrassed expression. Seeing General Sun’s resolute expression, he reluctantly wrapped the black cloth around him, but it was a copper gourd.

The bronze gourd’s dense seal patterns revealed a faint spiritual light in the twilight. Hei San couldn’t help but restrain his gaze when he looked at it. He didn’t expect that this young man was ugly and had such a treasure on him. No wonder his low cultivation dared to barge into the wilderness. It turned out that he still relied on it.

Luckily, General Sun’s eyes were poisonous, and he thought to himself, “This man only wrapped a black cloth around a copper gourd, so there shouldn’t be any malicious intentions.”

“This bronze gourd is a family heirloom of the sect. It was brought along to protect me on this trip. It was definitely not something that could be obtained by robbing my family. It was wrapped in black cloth because I was afraid that it would fall into the eyes of those who wanted to do so. Please investigate it clearly, Military Master.” The youth said.

‘”This magic tool of yours is wrapped in black cloth. It can only be concealed from the eyes of ordinary people.” Seeing that this young man seems to be cautious but has no experience of traveling, General Sun stopped questioning him. The official ultimatum went over and said, “This official road is not peaceful at night. You should find a place to stay. Don’t think that everything will be fine with this magic tool.”

“General Sun, perhaps you can ask this Sect Master to come with us to Yangquan and take care of us along the way.” At this time, the woman sitting in the carriage spoke again.

“Thank you, Miss Guan.” The youth saluted.

“My husband’s family name is Du. Don’t be so courteous, Zong Ye,” said the woman in the carriage. “Zong Ye said that he wanted to find a ship from Yangquan to fight for wealth. Have you ever thought of a way to make a living?”

The young man was slightly stunned. Only then did he know that the carriage was not an ordinary woman from a family. He said, “The Dao of the family fell quite suddenly. I was also caught off guard. I only heard that the seafarers went out to sea and often brought back precious treasures. I have yet to decide what exactly to do for a living.”

Madam Du saw that this young man had a good magical artifact, so she wanted to rope him in. General Sun didn’t want to say anything, but when he heard that this young man didn’t think of anything and wanted to go out to sea, he smiled in his heart. He thought to himself that this young man had thoughts. He didn’t know how many of them had died in the belly of a fish, but he really didn’t see any worldly dao.

“Your copper gourd looks quite frightening …” Madam Du, who was sitting in the carriage, saw that the young man was not scheming and wanted to know what the use of the copper gourd magic tool was.

At this moment, a miserable scream rang out, followed by dozens of screams that pierced through the sky. In the dark night on the left side of the official road, dozens of dim Spiritual Light seemed to have pierced through the void, and in the blink of an eye, it shot forward from a very far distance!

“Talisman Arrow!”

General Sun’s movements weren’t slow at all. A red tassel spear slapped the pole, and when it landed on his hand, it pulled out several spear lights, shattering the several talisman arrows that shot at the carriage.

As one-time consumables, talisman arrows were much more powerful than the profound talismans used by ordinary True Yang Realm disciples. It was extremely difficult for the archer to detect it beforehand.

In comparison, if a Reincarnation Realm cultivator wanted to use a magical artifact to ambush them, they had to be within three to five hundred feet of each other.

General Sun’s attack was comparable to catching a joint attack from two or three Reincarnation Realm cultivators. No matter how strong his cultivation was, his blood and qi were still shaken to the point of being unable to sustain his spiritual power.

Even so, General Sun could only receive a few talisman arrows that shot towards the carriage. Several White Tiger Camp soldiers who were slightly farther away from the carriage were all hit by the talisman arrows and fell to the ground.

Without waiting for General Sun to breathe a sigh of relief, an extremely slight strange sound came from behind him, causing his heart to palpitate. He knew that there was an extremely powerful force silently pressing behind his head.

General Sun thought that Zong Xun couldn’t just happen to go to Yangquan at night like them. He drew his gun and stabbed him in the chest. He wanted to stab him on the spot and deal with the threats at his side first.

When General Sun turned around, he saw that the young man’s face was filled with shock. He discovered that the young man was not using a fake bronze gourd magical artifact, but he did not have any intention of sneak attacking him. Instead, he shot out a cloud of silver flying sand from the bronze gourd and transformed into a silver chain in midair, entangling a silent Talisman Arrow …

The young man took out a bronze gourd and blocked the arrow for him, but he couldn’t free his hand to block the spear. The door to his chest opened wide, and he could only watch helplessly as the spear pierced into his chest.
